Aiden Rennek
Due to a litany of rigorous Jedi training, various war related efforts, and the oft strangling reins of familial duty, Briana Sal-Soren didn't exactly have the time in her busy schedule to attend frivolous social scenes, legitimately unable to recall when the last time it was that she'd had a night out that wasn't born out of some dutiful necessity. To let her hair down, as it were.
But for Iris, Briana made time, rearranging her schedule until she'd successfully cleared an evening for them.
The Mirage had been an easy place of choice.
Local, upscale... she figured Iris could meet at least
some half-decent individuals, more so than she would in some seedy underground bar of questionable taste. Never mind that it was an exclusive guestlist - for what did that matter when your family shared a personal connection that spanned generations with the owners themselves? Though her colorful friend believed Briana had masterfully snuck her inside, in reality, it was the convenient turning of a blind eye that let them waltz through without incident.
Once inside, Briana stayed with Iris long enough to ensure the night was started off right, then stepped off in search of one of the elder Trozky's for a quick 'pop-in hello', before her other invited guest arrived. Despite the strained relationship between her and Vizion, she still considered herself close to the rest of his family and saw no reason to avoid them, though perhaps they'd opted to avoid
her, as neither of the two elder Trozky's could be found working their usual social orbits.
The distressing idea only briefly flitted through her mind before a familiar tug pulled at her conscious, effectively distracting her - the pleasure of Aiden's company dispelling any negative thoughts or emotions trying to take root.
Briana pushed her way through the throngs of sweaty bodies with the practiced ease of someone who'd attended one-too many crowded events in her life, the click-clack of her black stilettos drowned out in the noise as she approached the bar where a certain Corellian had perched himself, briefly taking note of the other individuals who'd arrived since she'd left earlier, some of which were being blocked from view by the rather
substantial Hutt. Which was...
interesting, to say the least, but not something she dwelled on.
Thick coal lashes flickered upwards to Aiden as she leaned in against the bar, letting her hand rest against his arm, her cool blue gaze warming as their eyes met.
"Hey there, handsome," her rosebud lips bent into a wry smile, tugging at the faint dimple in her cheek.
"starting without me, hm?" she tapped the bar to put in her own order, going with,
'whatever he's having', a golden liquid tumblr promptly sliding her way.
"Cheers," she murmured, before pressing the lowball glass to her lips - and,
oh. It was definitely Corellian, with that unmistakable nasty kick at the end. Just when you thought it wasn't half bad. Her expression gave a slight wince as she felt it, though she managed to avoid the involuntary cough that accompanied it.
"Shiraya almighty," she cursed,
"that's terrible." she laughed softly, her nose crinkling some.
"I like it."
